Memorial Day

Monday will be Memorial Day - when we remember all those of us who have died in the preservation of freedom.

By "us" I include men that I knew, whose names are carved upon The Wall.

By "us" I include those who went before me, in WW2, Korea, the 'Nam, WW1, and followed me in Panama, Greneda, and the Sand Box - all the wars and skirmishes that have preserved and protected the United States.

By "us" I include all those who fought and died with us - the Filipinos, Brits, Poles, Canadians, Viet Namese, Chinese, French, Belgian, Dutch, Kuwaiti, Norwegian, Danish, Czechs, and many more.

On this, our Memorial Day, I remember you all.

God Bless, and remember, so long as just one remembers, your spirit will never die...
